So, you’re a little confused by all the nicknames out there. It’s kind of like navigating the acronym subcultures in corporate America. Here’s a nickname key to help you make a friend or two or know who to punch in the face at your next race.
Sure, I missed one right - maybe a lot, but I also added a few too. I have created several nicknames for those not already blessed. If you can identify the five nicknames I made up for this list you’ll win some lovely bikethrow.com schwag.

That’s not ‘Racer X’!
- Mr. Nonickname
Posted 03 Mar 2008 at 4:08 pm ¶Screw you guys for mentioning me on your site.
I don’t ever want to be mentioned on BTDC again in any capacity. Just because I happen to exist does not mean that you should think you have the right to acknowledge it.
This site totally blows because you use the wrong font.
I have said my piece.
Posted 03 Mar 2008 at 4:09 pm ¶Speaking of Racer X, you forgot Tuffy, aka Coach Puffy!
Posted 03 Mar 2008 at 4:13 pm ¶Dan - Gee do you think there could be two?
Smithers - We aim to please.
Steven - I did not forget.
Posted 03 Mar 2008 at 4:36 pm ¶I am embarrased for you all. I want the last 3 minutes of my life back. Anyone have any “new” nicknames for Frye? Actually I am thinking of a few right now…
Posted 03 Mar 2008 at 5:52 pm ¶Snides. How could we have missed Snides.
Frye, I think he’s just mad you missed him on the list;)
Posted 03 Mar 2008 at 8:04 pm ¶one day, “the unicorn” will stick.
Posted 03 Mar 2008 at 9:19 pm ¶Snides - It’s readers like you that make our efforts all worth while. Hope you’re a fan again now that you’re listed.
Cleary - Stop winking at me!
Smithers, I mean Puma - Is that better?
Spencicorn - You can’t replace (dis), the “unicornies” just doesn’t sound right.
Posted 04 Mar 2008 at 9:39 am ¶I’m calling Lewis Commodore instead.
Posted 04 Mar 2008 at 11:00 am ¶How can you forget SickBoy and Da Bomb?
Posted 04 Mar 2008 at 11:59 am ¶Face punching? It’s about time…
Posted 04 Mar 2008 at 12:40 pm ¶i forget about ‘da bomb’ all the time.
…usually when he’s up the road.
Posted 04 Mar 2008 at 1:55 pm ¶not sure what the puma is talking about…

Posted 04 Mar 2008 at 4:32 pm ¶Who is Sara Olsen? My fiancee will be pissed.

Posted 04 Mar 2008 at 7:48 pm ¶Rookie - Thanks for your thorough review. We definitely won’t make you the editor.
Doesn’t anyone want to take a shot at some schwag?
